seems to have issues where the app does not seem to connect to yahoo Mail very well. As I've tried to take photos and send them through the email I have had more than a dozen fail to send. As I've been trying to use this while the scanner at work was not functioning very well it has caused some issues in my ability to perform tasks set to me. I thought about giving it 1 star, but being that it is simple, easy, and works well enough when it does I went with 2.

Flawless action even on the most basic use. one of the only apps I've ever downloaded that actually delivers without interruption.. The line, "you get what you pay for" does not apply to this.. Things I would change a out of personal preference more descriptive scan key, date should end with the year. Pros for me I'm not being pressured to buy and not one pop-up (both big big pluses) "don't ever change that you will lose your retention" Marcus fittech inc

I'm so glad someone at work introduced me to this app! It has helped me in professional work, hobbies, and personal document digitization. I have introduced it to others too, and many of us wonder how we lived without it. It should be simple to take pictures and turn them into a pdf, but I found it to be anything but simple. Then I learned about this app, which DOES make it simple.

What’s new

We've fixed A4 PDF exports so they use the correct page size.
We've improved scanning and Quick Edit reliability to avoid duplicate captures and conflicting actions while editing pages.
We've also fixed export shortcut settings so custom names are cleaned up when saved and the Auto-Delete option is stored more reliably.
